Benefits of technology
The device described in the patent helps keep livestock in bounds by using an electric fence or probes to prevent them from scratching or pushing against the fencing. This prevents escape attempts.
Problems solved by technology
When a large animal such as a cow contacts an outrigger, the outrigger can be broken or dislodged from the fence, causing the wire to contact the fence or other electrically grounded structure.
This can cause a short circuit to ground, causing an electrical power supply electrifying the wire to fail.
Locating a broken or dislodged outrigger on a long length of fencing or fences can be time consuming.

The Device for Supporting an Electrified Wire is a device for supporting an electrified elongate conductor on a fence or other structure, the device comprising: an insulating base for attaching said device to a fence or other structure, a spring connectively attached to said base, and an elongate member connectively attached to said spring positioned to extend away from said fence or other structure, wherein said spring is configured to deform elastically to allow the elongate member to move from an un-deflected position with a distal end laterally away from the fence or other structure to a deflected position towards the fence or other structure in at least a sideways direction upon application of a force lateral to the elongate member, and to spring back again to the un-deflected position once the force is removed. It is used to contain and alter the movement activity of livestock.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a device for mounting and supporting a live (electrified) wire on a fence or other structure for the containment and control of livestock.BACKGROUND[0002]On farms, outriggers are provided to farms fences and other structures to support an electrified wire laterally outwards from the fence or other structure. The outrigger includes an insulated loop or other retainer to support and hold the wire, so that the wire can hold a voltage. When contacted by an animal, the wire provides the animal with an electric shock, to deter the animal from proceeding to make contact with the fence.[0003]Outriggers are typically stiff, to ensure the wire is held securely outwards from the fence. When a large animal such as a cow contacts an outrigger, the outrigger can be broken or dislodged from the fence, causing the wire to contact the fence or other electrically grounded structure.[0004]This can cause a short circuit to ground, causing an electri...
